Theism and religion hinders law because if there is any old dogma that goes against morality, it becomes harder to implement as a law.

There are a lot of laws in the U.S. (and so many other countries) that are there because of religion. We are making slow progress, far too slow for my taste, but it is what it is.

I find these laws damaging, partial, discriminatory, strangling, and horrifying.

There are only a handful of states that recognize same sex marriage. There are only a couple of states that recognize end of life rights (we treat our pets better than we treat our humans). There are places here where the doctor-patient relationship is invaded by law. There are school districts that require (christian) fables taught in science classes.

Statistics indicate that an atheist is less desirable as president than a convicted felon.

It frightens and saddens me. And yet, I've not lost hope that progress will continue.

Most laws are based on the standard of morality where most theism religions are based too. Except for some of course...

I am all for there being less laws in general I think the jury system mixed with key laws would be a better way to run things than making law after law to review in every single situation.

Don't forget there are lots of laws that go unenforced old and new. I feel making a law and not enforcing it is pretty much like saying hey please don't do this or that. Unenforced laws undermine the authority of those who uphold and enforce the law, but in reality there are to many laws to enforce and to many ridiculous laws to take seriously. I believe unenforced laws should be officially ended.

I think that law should be based on, rather than morals or religious values which I feel can be defined differently, what can be agreed on as certain inalienable rights each person should be entitled to. For example freedom of discrimination, freedom of belief, freedom of property use, freedom of voice, freedom of print, freedom of opinion, ect. ect. I would not mind elaborating on this but only per request.

Above all however, people should be free to live their lives comfortably within heir means in the way they see fit so long as doing so does not infringe upon the right of another person to be able to do the same. Furthermore, I believe people should be allowed to defend this right with deadly force if someone tries to take it from them or infringes on it. The decision as to whether they are justified in doing so should rest on a jury or even a 3 jury system.

Compromise start shooting to wound unarmed assailents rather than just executing them.

Ive been trying to find non racist statistics for how many unarmed men are killed by le officers but the best i can find is a report that 2 Black men are killed every week a large number of those unarmed i can show a large number of individual stories but the problem is the police DONT HAVE TO KEEP A RECORD of unjustified kills.
No one and i mean no one knows the reality of how many people get murdered by the police because the government does not give a shit if they did they would keep a record.

Im not from america so none, all i have are about a friggin million reports to go on. I have even seen video footage clearly showing the man to be unarmed and not a threat but executed.

I m sorry to have to answer it this way, But by and large.in my 85 years it has been painfully clear that laws are based on theological basis, regardless of what religioun is practiced by the authority who passes the law. when it comes to law, we are either outcasts or not considered at all.
